ANTI-REC: RECOMMENDING

Not all recs are made equal. Who am I to recommend anything? What gives me any right or authority? Anything I say could be wrong and bad. I don't want to give any recommendations. All I can say is if I like something. I don't know if you should try it—least of all if I don't know you.

Recommending things

I love to share things that are good with others, I’m the gatekeeper only because I hold open the gate. I’m quite specific with my tastes and I think that I’m good at hunting for good, useful, and beautiful things. I consider the things I own and think a lot about the things I consume and the way I interact with the world so I like sharing that with others. I also really like seeing what other people like and use and taking advice from them. The recommendations of other people are always so much better than just stab in the dark searching for things. Plus, Community based on shared tastes and exchanging recommendations feels like the opposite of the individualistic self-promotion-ness of other social media. When I shared my own music, for example, it meant a lot more to get genuine positive comments from a small amount of people whose tastes I trust, than a ton of random likes from strangers. It also nicely doubles as a sort of gratitude excercise, reminding me of things I enjoy and to notice the things that make my life easier or more beautiful.

using a ps1 as a cd player

I wanted to add a CD player to my home music setup, but couldn't find anything that both looked cool and was in my budget. after some research (reddit.com "cool cd players"), I found out that audiophiles LOVE the CD player that is built into the PS1. I plugged it into the receiver I have my turntable hooked up to, and it works! I don't really know if it sounds high quality or anything but it sounds good to me. It's a bit tricky to navigate the menu without a screen, but I think with a little more practice, I should be able to enjoy my CDs without too much fidgeting.
